Since a while #prosody trunk supports receiving already listening sockets, i.e #systemd socket activation.
This allows e.g. #biboumi to connect before Prosody is entirely ready to handle component connections.
No more retrying repeatedly and giving up completely before Prosody is fully started!

Could also be used to start Prosody on demand when a client (or server) connects.

@samebchase@fantastic.earth Hehe, I thought as much.

For my actual client usage I'm actually using the
#XMPP client @gajim@fosstodon.org with #Prosody as the server and #Biboumi as the gateway, which works pretty well. I dislike browser clients because, well, let's be honest, webbrowsers are all awful these days. #XMPP however is quite mature and has good standards for making bridges, and there's several decent clients available for pretty much any platform you can imagine. It's a bit like #Matrix but not shit in every aspect.

One could set up a domain, i.e. somerandom.chat, that serves primarily over #IRC but can be accessed via XMPP or Matrix. XMPP access can be granted by setting up #Biboumi with the "fixed_irc_server" setting configured to the same domain. Matrix access can be done the same way Libera.chat has done it: set up a homeserver and configure a bridge appservice.
